玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体作为引力波探测器

Bose-Einstein Condensates as Gravitational Wave Detectors

Matthew P. G. Robbins, Niayesh Afshordi, Robert B. Mann

摘要:

我们研究了玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体(BEC)作为引力波探测器的特性,并通过优化凝聚体的性质和测量时间来研究其灵敏度。我们发现,检测千赫引力波是有限的,目前的实验技术在压缩BEC声子。挤压BEC态的技术的未来改进可以使它们成为天体物理和/或宇宙学起源的引力波的有竞争力的探测器。

英文摘要:

We investigate a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) as a gravitational wave detector, and study its sensitivity by optimizing the properties of the condensate and the measurement duration. We show that detecting kilohertz gravitational waves is limited by current experimental techniques in squeezing BEC phonons. Future improvements in technology to squeeze BEC states can make them competitive detectors for gravitational waves of astrophysical and/or cosmological origin.
